You definitely can be the next visitor Tiffany -bet you know how to turn off lights and shut toilet doors!
They biked for an hour and five minutes - does that count as serious? If the weather is any good tomorrow Kyla and I will bike up to Andrew's work in the morning to shop for a Yukata (summer weight kimono) that she really wants to get to take home with her. It is about 8km each way so should be a good ride. The Japanese all ride on the footpath so that makes life easier - no chance of being run down by speeding cars
At the moment Kyla and Andrew are making a cheesecake - something she has been very keen to do ever since she arrived. This really is her last opportunity - in 24 hours we will be on the way to the airport - amazing how time flies!
We had a great night away in a very quaint little old town about 4 hours our of Tokyo - it was good to get out of the city and be near the river and forest that runs through the Kiso Valley. We tried to get pictures of Mount Fuji for Kyla but it insisted on staying we behind a cloud. We saw lots of other mountains so I guess that will have to suffice.
I'm sure Kyla will have much more to tell you on her blog about her night in a Ryokan, but here are a couple of photos to get you started.
Here is the path down to the Ryokan - very quaint...
And then the Traditonal Japanese Garden our room overlooked
And here is Kyla acting elegant - Sharon this is the idea for the alcove in the lounge - somewhere to hang our Japanese scroll.
